Blues Believer

OVERDRIVE
BOOSTER
DISTORTION

Description

Overdrives were already plentiful at the time, yet when the original circuit that inspired the Blues Believer made its apparition in 1991, guitarists were delighted to have access to that vintage British amp-inspired tone. When the term British sound gets mentioned, it usually brings to mind the fat warm crunch of a Plexi, but the FX Teacher Blues Believer has a different sonic color to it. It is a bright overdrive, the original transparent overdrive (without the clean sound being added to the crunch), truly respectful of your amp and guitar’s personality, mindful of the dynamics in your playing, while supplying all the fat and harmonically loaded sustain typical of tube amps. The FX Teacher Blues Believer can be used as your basic crunch on a super clean amp, as a boost to push it to the other side, as an extra source of fat on an amp that’s already cooking, or even as a way of making a crappy rental amp feel decent and more flattering.
